Silver Eye Reading Group

The Silver Eye Reading Group offers free, virtual and in person sessions that meet to discuss relevant readings and topics in photography. A rotating group of guest artists, curators and writers facilitate each meeting, bringing their own perspectives, specialties and selection of images for consideration along with the texts. This group is a participatory and accessible convening for all who are curious about photography’s past, present and future to discuss the most vital issues facing the medium.
